I was a Sony Main dealer in central London. My rep invited me to a hotel in Park Lane for the launch of the first Walkman. I met Mr Morita. What surprised me most was the initial response of my competitors in the trade who were slightly negative saying that it was over £100 and didn't record which was how they saw the market. I jumped at the opportunity to buy as many a I could from the original trial shipment. Within a month I had other dealers asking me to sell some of my stock at trade price.

Good old Walkmans. You seem in love with Cassette players recently

@jamesconnolly344 6 лет назад

Oh my gosh I kind of left this channel for a while but I came back Your channel has grown drastically and your video quality is now way better you have improved a lot I remember when you were under 5k subscribers and your videos were not so popular but than your channel skyrocketed keep up the amazing work!

@TheRetroFuture 6 лет назад

What the warning meant to say was - This video contains audio technology which is around 40 years old. I would advise you listen to this video through your speakers and have your finger on the volume button. Additionally, we are talking about an era of mono sound... so unless you want your -ear- to bleed... listen on SPEAKERS!

@Davedarko 6 лет назад

love the trigger warning for headphone users :)

@Gamerguy8585 6 лет назад

do you happen to know where you can get new motors for the player? i got my sony walkman the one from GotG but my motor froze up:/

@leviolson3977 4 года назад

I just recently bought a TCM-600 not working and I was testing it and turns out the motor doesn’t spin. Know anywhere where I can get a replacement?

@moose5660 3 года назад

@herbshop3853 3 года назад

@a1344 5 лет назад

My dad has a Sony Walkman II (WM-2) which doesn't play cassettes properly anymore. I would love for it to be fixed and in working condition one day

@Suedeash 5 лет назад

Try replacing the belt! It'll feel really satisfying

@CannondaleCAAD 4 года назад

I would happily repair it. most likely the belt or center cog/gear.

@thethe6232 5 лет назад

Nice vid. Very enjoyable. But you missed out the 1979 Sony original TPS-L2. You feature the later 1980 TPS-L2 b. The difference is the earlier 1979 Version doesn't have the Word Walkman on the front. But has The Word Stereo written on the front in white. The Sony logo is also smaller and written in white on the 79 edition.

@HooverLux 6 лет назад

I love this video, thank you and well done. I’ve just bought a few bits of retro tech and some bits I already have and this is fantastic. Thank you for your well explained well executed video. 😃😃😃😃

@sjm4306 6 лет назад

Great vid elliot! "Buy them before they get expensive ..." ... ummm they are already expensive lol. Love Sony design from the hayday of portable audio, in a way it's too bad everything has been replaced by smartphones.

@TheRetroFuture 6 лет назад

More expensive at least... Thanks!

@blakeromo 6 лет назад

Bought the later stereo version of this, the TCS-430. Slightly updated, different buttons more like the wm3, but still, stereo!

@TheRetroFuture 6 лет назад

Oh they are cool! I have seen them

@blakeromo 6 лет назад

Just hope I can find the right belts when it gets here. Might try your rubber band trick.... please make more walkman videos, I watch your channel for the gmeboy vids, but your walkman vids are both instructional and beautiful

@Suedeash 5 лет назад

@@blakeromo you should try getting those belts from Hong Kong, sometimes they're a pretty good replacement

@AmyraCarter 6 лет назад

Yeah, I've seen many variations of the Walkman. Apparently, there's a lot of them, because these are a few that I've never seen (or don't recall seeing). At any rate, thanks for sharing.

@TheRetroFuture 6 лет назад

Yeah these are old! You're welcome!

@W-Ostr 4 года назад

Nice that you showed sound quality on the proper equipment. Actually, it's quite good. :)

@etiennegarachon3442 4 года назад

Thanks for this video! ii was looking about vintage Walkman content and this videos was exactly what iwas looking for! To understand better from what the TPs L2 is comming from. How did you managed to get these three iconic walkman in such a good condition? thanks

Does anyone know the difference between the TCM-100 and the TCM-600? They appear to look the same

@jasongurr 6 лет назад

Hysterical made my day so funny demoing this being of an age that grew up with this. His book is a bit incorrect regarding boom boxes well in the UK anyway. Most teens like myself hung around in groups that were into a particular type of music and would have a boom box but we all had personal stereos as well no one could afford a Walkman they were just to expensive. So we were using boom boxes til around 1985.

@TheRetroFuture 6 лет назад

Thats amazing! Love hearing stories like that. I had a portable CD player in a camouflage colour!

@paulb4uk 6 лет назад

I used boomboxes for a while the hitachi 3d8 3d superwoofer was great but it went through battery fast with the volume up still it sounded better than the kids of today that have tiny mono blutooth speakers in there pocket in my day everyone got to listen to our music whether they wanted to or not ,At school we used the saisho amplified speaker bags with our walkmans . www.flickr.com/photos/yibb2/4731052887/lightbox/

@jacksonbusch6785 4 года назад

I think the TCM-600 was aimed at the business recording and dictation market. Our offices purchased them for all the very senior managers.

@soulagent79 6 лет назад

4:30 TDK SA - these are the cassettes I bought tons of at Aldi in the 1990s. :-D

@TheRetroFuture 6 лет назад

Still got your mixtapes!!?? Take them out and give them a listen!

@soulagent79 6 лет назад

Unfortunately I've lost nearly all of them over the years. Even the ones I used in my 4-Track tape machine to record my own songs and improvisations at the time are gone.

@alanthomas2235 2 года назад

I had the tcm131 not sure what happened to it but I've just got another one from e by coming soon

@cruzboitnott75 5 лет назад

Hey I recently picked up a tcm-12 I was kinda curious what year it could be all white with blue stripe running down the front

@paulb4uk 6 лет назад

Love that tcm-600 nice looking unit the early units are nice looking i got to one needs belts a tcm-8ev the other is a cheap chinese made unit that have not much love for .I have recently bought some pocket tv,s a casio tv-1400 and a cheap boxed citizen not sure why, but the will go with my sinclair pocket tv and my other casio tv400 they never cost much they kind of look cool even if they are horrible to watch any thing on .

@JamesCollects 6 лет назад

they do look awesome, I daren't start collecting something else. I wonder how big your collection will be by the end of 2018

@TheRetroFuture 6 лет назад

I have too many already! My sister loves her walkman btw, you are a legend!

@deadmoonscriptures1556 4 года назад

What adapter can I get to use the Sony TCM100b with stereo headphones? I also need to get it repaired.. I think the belt might be broken because the wheels won't spin :(

@mysteriotube1233 6 лет назад

When did the Excellent WM-3EX came out?

@carlsadventures1804 5 лет назад

Where did you find that I can’t find it anywhere

@luiscortazar6291 5 лет назад

Hi I bought a WM-3. Works great except I get a change insound quality every time I turn my headphone's jack. My headphones work just fine on my other walkmans. How could I fix this?

@thelonelytimbit 5 лет назад

the contacts inside the headphone jack have probably been pushed back over time, if you get a small pick you can slide it under the contacts and pull them closer to the center of the jack.

@Lone432345 6 лет назад

@kiko12000 6 лет назад

Hi, I have a question about my Gameboy. I’ve been watching all your Gameboy videos and I finally got a new casing for my Gameboy Color. When I put everything into the GameBoy Color, everything was in the correct spot, nothing sticking out, all good. But when I close it up, there is a gap between the front and back part of the case. Could you or someone who knows how to fix this help me?

@Deses 6 лет назад

A picture maybe? You may have forgotten to put the IR lens?

@TheRetroFuture 6 лет назад

Could be the IR lens yeah!

@kiko12000 6 лет назад

The Retro Future Okay, so when I put the new casing on, I used the stock buttons and lens. Yesterday I took it apart and put the new buttons and lens that the case came with, and I saw the gap along the sides and bottom were now fixed but for some reason the top, where the IR lens is, still had a gap.

@outrageous5363 6 лет назад

My dad had one

@NigelSequeira 5 лет назад

Do you use yours outside the house?

@yurenzhou76 5 лет назад

what's the function of tape counter?

@joshthecomputertech 5 лет назад

When you had multiple recordings on a single tape, it would be written on the cassette (or the cassette case insert) so you could FF to the recording you wanted to hear. Really useful in business, university, and law firm situations.

@keithfulkerson 6 лет назад

Seems like it's more a dictation machine than for listening to music, especially with it being mono and having the ability to listen to the audio sped up.

Yeah the sony pressman :-)

@FakYuhGoogel 6 лет назад

Man, I love the design of it! Even though it's almost useless today. I'll probably get me one these days. Even watching the cassette tape spinning is fun D: I wish there would be more separate hardware that has a decent quality build. Smartphones are indeed very smart, they can do so many things - but they're so boring to look at.

@Deses 6 лет назад

Fak Yuh Googel if they are boring maybe try turning it on and opening the RU-vid app!

@FakYuhGoogel 6 лет назад

Why would I watch RU-vid on my phone when I can do it on my monitor though.

@TheRetroFuture 6 лет назад

Cant bring your monitor in the loo with you!

@FakYuhGoogel 6 лет назад

I also don't spend half my daytime in the loo :D
